Hardy, department of Justice agent, filed a complaint with the United States commissioner here charging Herman Fletcher, of Mansfield, with violation of the national motor vehicle theft act.

Fletcher was sought for many months by the state authorities in Caddo and De Soto parishes, but nothing was learned of his whereabouts.

He pleaded guilty to the charge In the United States district court at Tyler, Texas, and was sentenced May 3, 1926, to serve 15 months in the training school at Golden, Colo.

His sentence will expire Friday. The complaint was authorized by Assistant District Attorney J. Fair Hardin.

According to officers, Fletcher has figured in many robberies and other offenses in northwest Louisiana during the last few years.
